I had a wonderful stay at Spectrum Holiday Apartments. The views from the apartment were absolutely stunning, and the location was perfect for easy access to the beach and local amenities. However, I did notice the apartment was a bit dated and had some minor issues with the shower door and Wi-Fi connectivity. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would recommend it to others.

My stay at Spectrum Holiday Apartments was mostly enjoyable. The views from my apartment were stunning, especially during sunset, and the location felt peaceful yet was just a short walk to all the action in Surfers Paradise. However, the second bedroom didn't offer much privacy due to the roll-out door, which wasn't soundproof, and the room itself could use some updates. Overall, it was a great trip, but a few minor issues held it back from being perfect.
